Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:16:08 +0000http://www.jmadigan.net/?p=3529#comment-3875i liked running with the heart rate monitor because it was a good feedback system to tell me to slow down or speed up depending on where it was. Happy birthday old man. I still have time before that birthday. Although, being fit and 40 is better than being fat and 40 which is where I’m going to be if I don’t get off my butt.

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 17:47:20 +0000http://www.jmadigan.net/?p=3343#comment-2375Man, I always loved doing this. I’d fill an old Cool Whip container and watch the lid blow off and make a mess everywhere. So much fun!

If you want to get a little more violent – and dangerous – try some hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid at the hardware store) and aluminum foil in a 2 L soda bottle. When it explodes it will shower you with hot acid. Fun for the whole family!

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:15:36 +0000http://www.jmadigan.net/?p=3304#comment-2268I love this plan.
My daughter is always interested in wrecking stuff so now we’ll just call it “science” and I’ll make her write it up I’ll make a 6 month lesson plan ending in 6 weeks of iterating on home made rocket engines (cuz those never worked for me due to lack of internet!) On the other hand… maybe we’ll just grow mold cultures and engage in other, milder forms of destruction.

Great series!

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 03:13:13 +0000http://www.jmadigan.net/?p=3304#comment-2262I think I need to go back and do some of these. Do they have grown up cheat sheets in the book so you look like you know what you are talking about?

There are tons of books out there like this (and probably websites, too) but the one I’m using is 101 Great Science Experiments. I liked it because it had a lot of really simple experiments that you can do without buying special materials.

Mon, 03 Jan 2011 19:08:28 +0000http://www.jmadigan.net/?p=3154#comment-2224Jamie, I was wondering if you can share the name of the book you are using, this seems like such a wonderful thing to do with your daughter.
